There are a few dents and dings as well as rust bubbles in the corners of the wheels, near the tail-lights, and under some of the trim.The car needs paintThe hood has been replaced and the paint is faded with many stone chips, some large.There is a scratch in the drivers door window that runs from the bottom, almost to the top in the center of the glassThe front windshield has 2 cracks about 6-8" long in the extreme bottom right corner (not in the line of vision)The car has wipers on the headlights but I'm not sure if they workI just had brand new tires put on the and they didn't balance them properly so now the car shakes at 80k/h. I had it back to the shop but it's not much better and I haven't had time to bother with it.The power door locks work only sometimes Just to clarify, this is a 17-year-old car with over 336000km's on it.I am being as brutally honest as I can describing this car. It has never let me down in the 2.5 years I've owned it. I put a new power steering pump and oil pan gasket on it when I got it and haven't touched it since. I drive it every day to and from work and it runs relatively good considering its age, with no substantial leaks.The price I'm selling this car for would pay for the tires and the stereo, and you basically get the rest of the car for free. The car is located north of Toronto and is sold as-is with no warranties implied or stated. I try to disclose as much info as I can and urge all bidders to ask any questions they may have. I take Paypal or cash when the car is picked-up. I am also selling the car locally and reserve the right to end the auction at any time Thanks for looking
